The Voyant Presence App
Every landscape has its own meditation.
Choose a landscape work from the Collection and experience a meditative session composed for that image and no other. Or stand somewhere that stops you, photograph it for the app, and Voyant composes one for where you are and how you feel.

01. The Collection, in your hand
The app is built around the Collection images, not the other way around. The Collection is six series around the world: 74 landscapes, with 1,110 recordings between them: seven voices at three or five minute meditation sessions, and a sung piece for every image. 148 scripts, none shared between two landscapes.
You carry a library of 440,000 possible meditative sessions. Wherever you wander,
- ∪ -
Voyant composes one that is yours alone: for the frame, for how you feel, for where you stand.
The six series
Every landscape in the collection lives in the app, each with meditative sessions composed for that image and no other.

Tuscany: Pastoral & Golden

03. Capture your personal horizon
A recorded meditation plays the same way for everyone who presses play. A personally captured session is composed for your image, once.
Here is what happens when you capture your horizon:
1. Stand somewhere that stops you
Open the camera and face outward. Voyant only ever looks at the view in front of you, never at you.
2. Voyant makes sure it's a horizon
It finds where the land meets the sky and checks the light, the composition and that this is a real place in front of you before it begins.
3. It reads everything about the moment
4. It composes your session
5. It's yours
A session that is created and saved in your history to return to; play it back later and it takes you back. Tap its image in your tray to choose the spoken or the sung track. Stand in the same place tomorrow and it will be a different session.
The anatomy of your capture
Every captured session is built from three things Voyant reads the moment you take the picture.
The view
The colors in the frame, how bright it is, how much detail it holds, where the horizon sits and the natural texture of the land.
The moment
Where you're standing, the hour, where the sun is and how long until it sets, the season, and the weather: temperature, wind, humidity, cloud and whether the air is changing.
You
How you told it you feel and, if you wear a watch, your heart as you settle. Then it composes: a script, your chosen voice, a song and the sound beneath, all for this one moment.
This morning, on an overcast dawn. Clear Morning was composed from it.
The watch reads your heart as you settle, with your prescribed color.
04. The immersion
Three movements, one session: you settle, you listen, you surface.
Your live mood state, and how you feel right now.
Pink · Warm, on The Obsidian Maw.
Where you landed: 91, forty-nine points calmer
After · Where you landed
The session closes on your ZeroPoint Score™, built from your heart rate during the session and what you told Voyant, and shows how far you moved from where you arrived. Share it, or find it again in your history.
During · The session
The image fills the screen and the session plays: the voice over the bed of noise, the soundscape beneath it, your shade named beside the landscape. If you wear an Apple Watch, it counts down with you and reads your heart as you settle.
Before · Breathe slowly
Voyant lays out what it has prepared for you: the scene, the voice, the track, the bed of noise and its shade. Your mood state is read from your wearable against your own fourteen-day baseline, and one question asks how you feel right now. Take a breath, then begin.
05. The sensory layer
Everything in Voyant is catalogued by the feeling it serves. Tap how you want to feel and Voyant builds your prescription: a scene, a voice, a soundscape and a bed of noise, each chosen for that mood.
White, pink and brown
White: gently alerting
Bright and even. For arriving calm but flat.
Pink: balanced
Softer toward the highs, like steady rain. It softens stimulation without sedating.
Brown: grounding
